Occurs during the WereProfessor path at:

Notes

  • Occurs as a one-time superlikely adventure in a zone after 6 turns of delay.
    • The delay can be advanced as WereProfessor or WereBeast, but the adventure will only occur as a WereBeast.
  • Does not cost an adventure.
  • There are 13 locations to actually obtain the smashed scientific equipment, but the maximum actual amount of smashed scientific equipment that the player can actually use is 10, so you can pick and choose where to get it depending on how early you want it and how many zones you've actually managed to unlock.
  • Note that some of the zones (e.g. Madness Bakery, Thinknerd Warehouse, Vanya's Castle) have to be unlocked as a WereProfessor because you can't talk to the relevant NPCs to unlock them as a WereBeast. You can usually do this right away in any WereProfessor run, except your first (where you're thrown straight into beast form). Weirdly enough, That Hippy is okay with talking to beasts to unlock the Old Landfill.
